This sonic game is in a weird spot. It's not terrible, but it's not good either.
The good:
- Backgrounds and setpieces look beautiful.
- The music (big surprise there, right?)
- Character Customization
The Meh: Overall stage design. Some stages do deviate from the typical automation trend, but they unfortunately either suffer from the awkward physics or are too short to make an impact.
The Bad:
- 2D Movement physics: Often, characters (especially classic sonic) feel like they have absolutely no air control, causing unnecessary deaths. This is especially apparent in stages 25 and 28.
- 3D sections have too much automation.
- Story just doesn't hold up to the hype.
